Managing a product

A product is an entity used by a reseller to manage sales of vendor services and applications. In ActivePlatform, a product includes the data required to sell it via Customer Store (see Managing Storefront):

  • Vendor information.
  • Product type.
  • Product marketing information.
  • Product documentation.
  • Support information.

In ActivePlatform, a product is directly connected to a plan (see Managing plans), and indirectly โ€” via the plan โ€” to an application (see ะกonnectors) and to a service term (see Managing service terms). For an account ordered a subscription within a product, the reseller can assign the responsible managers (product managers).

To restrict ordering subscriptions to plans of certain products for resellers and accounts included in restrictions lists, see Managing the validation service.
